[Stackless] Example and doubts about the functioning of stackless

[Carlos Eduardo de Paula]

Hi all,

I´m still playing with stackless until I get a project to use it. I created a small app to perform a task and display a progressbar, each on its own tasklet.

My questions are:

- When I run the task in the doStuff alone(without the progressbar) the task is completed in about 1.06 seconds in my machine, and when I run it with the PB, it takes 2.17 seconds.

- When the task is finished it sends a signal to the PB so it stops, but the app stays running (i think its the ManageSleepingTasklets tasklet, how can i make it exit and finish?

- When the task is finished and the app is still running(see above), my CPU stays at 100%. What can I do to make my app not use all CPU?

Please, tell me if i´m doing anything wrong in it...

        c = c + 1
        stackless.schedule()
    if pb: pb.running = 0
    print "Took: " , time.time() - st , " seconds."


stackless.tasklet(doStuff)(1,progressBar()) # With progressbar
#stackless.tasklet(doStuff)(1)               # Without progressbar

stackless.run()

Thanks for all,
